    It was my birthday lunch with my three closest friends. So I picked the place. I wanted Italian and we weren't disappointed. The soup, pasta and desert was all home made and delicious. We were transported to Italy. the reason I gave three stars for ambiance, is because it looked like a diner.

    Food was excellent. However, we felt that a side salad or bread should have been included with our pasta dishes for the prices we paid.

    Unfortunately, this establishment is not truly an Italian restaurant. The Pizza and Parmesan fries were excellent. The Italian dishes, such as Parmesan chicken were awful. The bacon wrapped dates seem to be premade and heated up. The feta bites were good. If you’re looking for bar food this is the place to go.

    Very large portion of chicken parm over spaghetti, which was mushy. Salmon with zucchini and tomato sauce was good. They were out of the special lasagna at 6:30. Wine was small portion for the price of $13, so not good value there. We will go back to try more things because ambiance is good, parking good and near our residence.

    The menu is very limited, but the outdoor veranda is a very pleasant setting. Service staff was very attentive and efficient. We would come more often if the food was better.

    super friendly and helpful servers. The limoncello spritz was so refreshing on a hot day. We followed that with the whipped ricotta bruschetta, which was delicious. Entrees were quite good too!

    Food and service excellent. Dates wrapped in Italian ham were delicious. Salmon and vegetables were prepared perfectly, other dinners served were good but needed to be served warmer. Beautiful views of the golf course and atmosphere delightful.

    Four of us went for dinner on 8/22/24. We had a great time. The restaurant is open year round and has indoor & outdoor seating. In this warm weather, it is a treat to sit outside on the restaurant's veranda or under their umbrella-covered tables closer to the course itself. Everywhere the views are idyllic. We liked: appetizers - the eggplant stack salad and the meatballs with polenta (both are big enough to be entrees); entrees - the rigatoni, the white fish, the pasta with shrimp & pesto sauce; dessert - the warm lemon-ricotta donuts with chocolate ganache sauce. All the servings are very reasonably priced especially because the potions generous.(Bread for the table is $5, but it is warm and served with olive oil and freshly grated parmesan. The service was polite, attentive and sweet. The restaurant was about 70% full with some bigger groups that were a little loud but the noise level was perfect for conversation. The other couple that went with us had never been there and they loved it. We will all be back!
